Updates

Our Owl Call Blues is now available on vinyl! To order or pickup a copy please visit Euclid Records here in New Orleans. They will ship to you anywhere. Also, check back with them in June when our latest album, Blue Chime Stomp, will be available on vinyl as well.

We're very excited to announce the release of our newest album, Blue Chime Stomp. Recorded in April of 2015 in New Orleans on 4-track, this album features us in a couple different lineups- our traditional one, as well as one with multiple reed players, and also our R&B lineup including piano, upright bass and drum set. A few original tunes, as well as art work by Shaye Cohn.

We've been getting this question a lot lately, and we figured we owe those inquiring an explanation. Erika has moved out of New Orleans, but she is still in the band. She will still be performing with Tuba Skinny at festivals and on tours, and occasionally in New Orleans too. We miss her when she's not with us, but when we do get to play with her, it's a special treat. Thanks for your concern.

You can also download our music - full albums or track by track - right here.

And, of course, you can still get everything at our shows, or, if you're in town by visiting the Louisiana Music Factory (421 Frenchmen St, New Orleans).

Formed in in 2009, Tuba Skinny has steadily evolved from a loose collection of street musicians into a solid ensemble dedicated to bringing the traditional New Orleans sound to audiences around the world. Drawing on a wide range of musical influences—from spirituals to Depression-era blues, from ragtime to traditional jazz—their sound evokes the rich musical heritage of their New Orleans home. The band has gained a loyal following through their distinctive sound, their commitment to reviving long-lost songs, and their barnstorming live performances.
